Did this 3 color painted plexi Red Wings design the other day, turned out pretty nice. Looks a little ragged in high res, better with the naked eye. 1st one shows it in room light, 2nd one edge lit ,,, I just used regular white led's for this one, didn't think multi color would be too appealing with the paint.

Did have some of the red bleeding through the white, I used 2 thick coats of white to start so I didn't think this would happen. Next time, I'll use 2 coats, then clear coat over that before applying another color. Probably should have made the fonts a little larger as well.This is 8x6 with .5 plexi, etch came out great, if I do another one it will be 10x8.

do you spray paint it? and what about the engraving is it on the back og front?

The process I used was:* Spray paint one side white [2 coats]* Etch the design on the white side* Black logo outline painted by hand* Tape over letters, and spray paint logo red* Once dry, tape removed, and letters spray painted black* Once dry, I painted the whole thing white again to give it a uniform look
